2. More recently we learned
"Assessments were deliberately manufactured & used to discredit some of our nation’s bravest & impede access to medical care. As was the case with other high-visibility intel assessments (Covid-19?), it fell far short of analytic integrity standards"

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn
Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

Big admission of a big mistake by Team Trump
In court filing tonight, Justice Dept admits they have information about Reflecting Pool: "showing that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented by Dept of Interior"

US Atty Jeanine Pirro's court filing says Justice Dept met w/ park officials on July 1 at Reflecting Pool.. but admits pool "remained filled w/ water, making it difficult to observe the condition of the floor of the entire pool, which was mostly obscured as it covered w/ water"
This is going to be a long one! But i could not believe my ears when I heard @KellyPowersBPA use Romans 14 to essentially say a man is free in Christ to Sodomise his wife, in a conversation with @Trent_Horn
Kelly often defends “Sola Scriptura”, but respectfully he is not SS, he is Solo Scriptura.
For Kelly and many evangelicals, if you cannot find something VERBATIM in Scripture then it’s not “biblical”. That is not Sola Scriptura

A husband and wife can commit sodomy together. Marriage makes them lawful sexual partners, but it does not make every sexual act they perform lawful. The morality of an act depends upon its nature, not merely the marital status or consent of those performing it.
Many musicians have done a pretty good job of exploring what is generally called "world music" and incorporating it into their sound. But only two stand out in my opinion: Peter Gabriel and this gentleman.
A difference between the two is that Gabriel had a wider geographical reach and also mentored and sponsored a few musicians through WOMAD and Real World Records (Youssou N'Dour, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), while Byrne mostly searched inspiration in the Caribbean and Latin America.
The other difference is that Gabriel incorporated those influences into his own sound "mix", i.e. blending it with other sources, while Byrne essentially kept the roots and the rhythm and just created lyrics to go with that.
Quick update on today's CDC COVlD data.
Good news: There's no steep national rise as would be typical by this time of year. Most of the larger outbreaks have gotten smaller.
Bad news: There are more (tiny) outbreaks. Even at lower *relative* levels, absolute risk is high.

It's amazing to me how many people have mentioned getting COVlD for the first time or first time in a long time in the past month.
It's often diligent maskers who decided to take a break.
I don't endorse that approach at all. It's terrible advice. If people think COVlD is "going away," they should watch the video I posted months ago explaining how that was faulty reasoning. Also, if one believes a problem is going away, perhaps wait for evidence that it has gone away. It's like predicting a car will stop soon, so jumping out when it's still going 45mph. Right now, the car has sped up to 50mph, and that's merely a good thing because usually it's going 150mph this time of year.
We have real-world data showing that the people who get infected the least tend to consistently wear well-fitting N95 or elastomeric masks and focus on the totality of the pandemic (cumulative waves and infections). People who wear ill-fitting masks or time their mitigations related to waves get infected more.
Tracking transmission is useful. During low levels, it's often safer to get dental and ENT visits and surgeries. When transmission ticks up, it's good to get delayed boosters, replace filters, stock up on tests, and warn the occasional maskers so maybe they can dodge an infection.

This is the video from 3 months ago, where I explained COVlD was not "going away." It's also at PMC19.com
I made the video because an epi reliant on subscription revenue started (and continues) to claim this. Nonsense.

Bill Gates had a Q Clearance and a private editor at NIH.
Across nearly twenty years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation built a relationship with the federal government that ran on personal access as much as formal partnership. I'm releasing the documents. 🧵

Bill Gates held a Department of Energy "Q" security clearance for seven years, including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. DOE confirmed his clearance "was reciprocally granted on June 11, 2014, and subsequently terminated on December 6, 2021."
A "Q" clearance permits access to Top Secret Restricted Data of the U.S. Government.

With the help of David Morens, Anthony Fauci served as Bill Gates's private editor.
In April 2020, Gates asked Fauci for feedback on his memo "Pandemic I: The First Modern Pandemic." In January 2022, Gates asked Fauci to edit his book before it went to the publisher.

In the tenth month of the ceasefire, the Israeli military killed at least 13 children in Gaza, most of them while they were sleeping in their homes. Hundreds more were injured, lost their homes and were displaced in July alone.

Bill Jensen spent 8 years in bariatric surgery watching patients regain the weight they lost.
What he's seeing now with a ketogenic diet plus a micro-dose GLP-1 challenges the idea that losing weight is temporary.
6 things from our conversation:

6 things from our conversation:
The first point Bill made is one I think is easy to miss.
GLP-1s aren't good or bad. The more useful question is how to use them well, so people gain agency over their health rather than hand it to a drug.
Everything else in our talk built on that.

The case series he co-authored with @BenBikmanPhD followed 7 patients on a ketogenic diet plus low-dose semaglutide, most at 0.5 mg a week or less.
About 92% of the weight lost was fat. Lean mass held. Visceral fat dropped 30% or more.
Small sample and early data, but a striking pattern.

Mo§ad used fαlsε flαg recruitment to trick Arabs & foreigners into working/spying for lsræI while posing as CIA or NATO agents. These assets infiltrated enemy states, stole intel, armed rebels, fueled insurgencies and supported coups, all while keeping lsræI's involvement hidden.
Mo§ad also partnered with West Germany's BND, led by former Nαzi general Reinhard Gehlen. Its diplomatic ties in Arab countries where lsræI was banned let it gather intelligence & run operations beyond Mo§ad's reach.

President Trump and his cabinet have made incredible achievements in just 18 months in office.
"America is safer, and stronger, and far more successful than it was two years ago. When we took office, we inherited a total catastrophe." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

“Just since the beginning of the Fraud Task Force that I started under the President’s leadership and direction, we have identified $230 billion of fraud that's being perpetrated against the American people, and we have halted, already, $56 billion of that…We’ve made a lot of progress, Mr. President, in just under a year, but we’re going to keep on working at it because we believe the American people deserve to have there money spent as you and the congress have directed it." - @VP JD Vance
"We had an unprecedented ministerial, 60 countries came to Washington, and were part of an effort shedding light on far left terrorism and violence... If it's a leftist group, an Antifa group, they ignore the ideological spin... we got 60 countries came up here, hopefully creating a strong group to go after far left violent terrorism." - @SecRubio
